CineD posted this interview. I haven't watched it yet, as I'm not exactly in the market for an ARRI anything, but I'd be curious to know if there are any plans in there to go for smaller cameras.. With MFT bodies getting larger and larger and ARRI bodies getting smaller, maybe we're at the point where they will meet!

April 8th is workforce reduction announcement and April 14 th is new product press release day

Yeah. I'm not saying that releasing something different might not help raise stock prices, but canning nearly a quarter of their staff probably had a lot to do with it. I don't think your average investor, even one for GoPro, knows all that much about the camera market overall to know the significance.

Unfortunately the Beta phase via Testflight is full and you can't join anymore it seems. I hope it'll release soon to the AppStore as it's a lot more useful than the official Nikon app.

I think laying off 23% of it’s workforce has had a lot to do with the share price rising. Those finance vampires love people losing their jobs.

Yeah, agree with you, and you should have fun with your lens choices - some cool stuff in there. One thing you might have fun with is matching the 9mm PanaLeica to your less clinical lenses, I have the 9mm and it's incredibly sharp - my sharpest lens by a long shot I think. Just remember, amateurs ask "what is the best way to sharpen your footage?" and the pros reply "actually, I soften the image on most projects I grade". I find the GH7 to be almost invisible, which seems bizarre when you consider the size and weight of it, but it's true. With my AF zoom lenses I find a composition by eye, raise the camera, adjust the screen if required, adjust the zoom, hit the AF-ON for it to focus, check the histogram to make sure exposure is good and adjust vND or ISO if required, then hit record. With manual lenses I do the same thing but normally hit record then manually focus the lens. In situations where the light isn't that variable, it's just a matter of vND -> hit record -> focus. It's like the camera is just a screen and a record start/stop button on it, and the rest of the action happens on the lens and in front of the camera. The experience is more like I'm operating a lens rather than operating a camera. People talk about how complicated the menus are in this camera or that camera and TBH I don't really know what they're talking about. You buy a camera, work out what modes you might be interested in, test them, then choose which mode you'll use and save that to a profile, and from that point on the camera is essentially a box where you only adjust something once in a blue moon. The reviewers act like you're taking one shot in 48p 5.7K Prores HQ V-LOG and the next in 23.976p 1080p h264 HLG and the next in 30p C4K h265 in Sepia or some BS. Quick - the bride is about to walk down the aisle - change settings! Why can't I assign the shadow slider in the picture profile menu to a hot button?!? It would save me so much grief!!

Their share price is up by 170 % compared to a nasty low in March so I think your theory is right ! Put on a show for the shareholders and speculators !!! They have lost market share as well

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1964095-REG/gopro_mission_1_pro_ils.html A "dumb" m43 mount on 1"? Honestly, from my perspective, it's a perfectly fine idea. If people out there don't understand why a dumb m43 mount is going onto a 1" sensor, those folks can just stick with GPro's fixed lens offerings.  For those that know how to utilize the tool, it'll be fine and even a bit more than adequate -- as the people that'll use this gear/mount aren't really fretting about AF or e-iris. The big thing here, I think, is that with adapters you can put anything on there now. FF to C-mount. Hell, go back decades and buy some of the lenses camera companies were putting on their NTSC video cams, if that would work.   Whatever.   That said, my speculation is that they're not even that interested in this camera doing anything special sales-wise in the marketplace. Most likely this iteration of their product is a loss leader put out there for bragging rights. Basically, like, "Look, our products are a serious cinematic tool now!" "Lenses!" "Prestigious-Lens-Brand-This!" "Prestigious-Lens-Brand-That!" The real value in that sort of BS, in this era of YT marketing, is more than worthwhile. As for sensor size, the best footage I ever filmed in my life was captured on 1" sensors. So, it's hard for me to by too concerned about a small'ish sensor -- as far as that ever matters anyway.

🤷‍♂️ sexy as fcuk ? Perfectly legitimate reason to be honest.

🤷‍♂️ sexy as fcuk ? But being serious, a question I have already asked myself and pondering further on… Ideally, I’d like a longer version of the photo 28-45mm f1.8, something like a 45-90mm f1.8 also with internal non-extending zoom, but no sign of that as of yet…

It’s for a personal travel/ski film next winter in northern Finland (supplemented by a Sony rx0ii). I have several manual Nikon lens which I previously adapted to the Pocket 4k. The 85mm is a favourite. Plus all my M/ZM/VM (one of my favourites is the Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 Vintage Line Heliar). I want the Panasonic/Leica 100-400 (not sure why but it seems ridiculously fun to go to 800mm equivalent!). I’ve also ordered the 9mm f/1.7 Panasonic/Leica to replace a MFT Voigtlander 10.5 (far too heavy). A healthy mix of MF and AF. Shallow dof is certainly not a priority. Interestingly, I am finding that the “fun of using” is far more important that ultimate IQ… after all, none of this really matters!

What are you shooting and what lenses are you contemplating? I can't recall what your other normal equipment is, but MFT opens up a Pandoras Box whole world of possibilities with adapters etc too (if you don't need AF) so that can be fun too. I've been shooting street video at night with two combos that work incredibly well.. the first is my 42.5mm F0.95 with the Sirui 1.25x anamorphic adapter on the front, making it an equivalent of 68mm F1.5 and creating beautiful rendering wide open, but the combo is 1.3kg / 46oz so I also got a Takumar 50mm F1.4 on a speed booster, which is equivalent to a 71mm F2.0, which is much more vintage but is tiny and almost a full 1kg lighter. I'm contemplating a native 35mm F0.95 or F1.4 to replace both and have a less vintage but still lightweight for travel shooting. I also rock the 14-140mm for day shooting while travelling, and in brighter places the 12-35mm F2.8 is pretty hard to beat. So many great lenses. If you don't need crazy DOF then MFT is a great option, even with the larger body sizes.

I have used several c-mount lenses on my GX85/GH5/GH7 cameras without incident, along with many others on these forums. I have the right adapter that goes in a bit further and gives infinity focus, so there should be enough room. I can't speak for other adapters or OM1 cameras, but it's definitely possible with the MFT flange distances.

looks promising ,still being beta tested.Note in the comments "photojoegraphy" claims it works on his Z8 And Z6III.

Just curious what advantage the cine versions would bring in your application over the stills versions, particularly for the price bump ? Are they parfocal or have significant reduction in focus breathing ? Or are you looking at having wireless motor FIZ control with a Nucleus etc?

For anyone that is interested anyway… The new Sigma AF cine lens pairing of 18-45mm T2 and the longer 28-105mm T3. These could be and are indeed of great interest to a run & gun hybrid shooter like me. The wider lens is internal zoom but the longer lens is not but having said that, it doesn’t extend much at all. Moderately chonky but nothing too outrageous. Probably going to replace 4 primes with this duo in 2027 for my pair of S1RII’s. Too much expense for me this year as I’m running a much tighter ship in ‘26 with my only purchases being a new drone (the old one flies too wonky after various err, ‘incidents’) and new wireless audio gear after a few issues with RODE WG2. But anyway, these new Sigmas look the business and I’d like to see some real world AF as the principal example they gave in their promo video is of a woman slowly wobbling towards the camera on a tripod in a studio…and that is not ‘real world’! Anyone else interested?

The Power of Colour in Cinema -5 minutes

I'm trying to figure out whether a shorter focal length C mount lens is safe in both an OM1 MKII and an E-P5 using a Fotodiox MFT-C adapter, mainly being concerned about sensor contact with IBIS movement and shutter hits.

Remember what kye wrote about ;- )

I mean, the lens mount makes it very adaptable, but not having auto focus seems like a big deal breaker.

All hail Chinese camera menus! : ) A bit hard to beat Blackmagic anyway...

On the other hand, looks like Insta360 are leaking images of their own MFT camera... all speculation at this point, but it could also be a viable entry in the "small modern MFT camera" category. https://www.43rumors.com/the-mft-revolution-is-here-first-leaked-images-of-the-insta360-mft-camera/
